About this item
- Doctor’s Best Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble highly bioavailable derivative of thiamine (Vitamin B1).* Benfotiamine is activated in the bloodstream to release thiamine, and remains available in the body four times longer than water-soluble thiamin.* Benfotiamine activates transketolase, a cellular enzyme essential for glucose metabolism pathway.* It helps support the circulatory and nervous systems with radical-scavenging action against oxidative stress, providing a positive influence on Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs).*
- GLUCOSE METABOLISM SUPPORT – Glucose is one of our body’s best sources of energy - and is available through bread, fruits, vegetables and more. Taking Benfotiamine daily can assist in regulating glucose levels, already within normal range, and help to counter the serious health issues related to sustained high blood sugar.*
- MANAGE YOUR BLOOD SUGAR – Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble derivative of thiamine, a super nutrient linked to maintaining normal glucose levels.* A derivative of thiamine, Benfotiamine is more bioavailable and can be absorbed at higher doses than its counterpart, thiamine. For those with glucose levels within normal range, Benfotiamine can be a powerful tool in supporting healthy blood sugar levels and protecting against oxidative stress.*
- MAINTAINS NERVOUS SYSTEM HEALTH – by taking Benfotiamine the blood levels of vitamin B1 can be boosted, supporting the body’s nerves and nervous system.*

Product Description
Benfotiamine raises the blood level of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), the biologically active co-enzyme of thiamine. Thiamine and its co-enzyme, TPP thiamine (vitamin B1) plays an essential part in the metabolism of glucose, through actions of it co-enzyme TPP (thiamine pyrophosphate). TPP is formed by the enzymatically catalyzed addition of two phosphate groups donated by ATP to thiamine. TPP also goes by the name thiamine diphosphate. In the cytoplasm of the cell, glucose, a 6-carbon sugar, is metabolized to pyruvic acid, which is converted into acetyl-CoA, otherwise known as active acetate. Acetyl CoA enters the mitochondrion, where it serves as the starting substrate in the Kreb's cycle citric acid cycle. The Krebs cycle is the primary source of cellular metabolic energy. TPP, along with other co-enzymes, is essential for the removal of CO2 from pyruvic acid, which in turn is a key step in the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA. CO2 removal from pyruvic acid is called oxidative decarboxylation and for this reason, TPP was originally referred to as cocarboxylase. TPP is thus vital to the cell's energy supply. Benfotiamine helps maintain healthy cells in the presence of blood glucose. Acting as a biochemical super-thiamin, it does this through several different cellular mechanisms, as discussed below. Benfotiamine and glucose metabolism benfotiamine normalizes cellular processes fueled by glucose metabolites. As long as glucose remains at normal levels, excess glucose metabolites do not accumulate within the cell. The bulk of the cell's glucose supply is converted to pyruvic acid, which serves as substrate for production of acetyl CoA, the primary fuel for the krebs cycle. Of the total amount of metabolic energy (in the form of ATP) released from food, the Krebs cycle generates about 90 percent.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've always been an active person and since I was diagnosed with neuropathy the feeling of being pathetic was just getting worse and worse.
So in a leap of faith after reading some of the reviews on this particular supplement/vitamin I started taking them 10/12/2022.
At first I wasn't sure if they were doing anything for me but I realized that they needed to build up in my system to be of any effect so I continued to take them as advised on the bottle.
After about a week one of the first things that I did notice was that my balance ( a symptom of neuropathy ) had improved immensely and I was no longer hanging on to counters, furniture etc. just to get around the house.
As I write this it is 01/04/2023 and for the last 3 days I have started to feel like my old self. I've been knocking out the chores like nobody's business and been able to get things accomplished. I know it's early days to be celebrating my new found energy, and I will update as necessary with further changes to my health, but I am definitely seeing some positive changes to y health, another one among them being my appetite and eating habits. I am no longer craving food and snacks just for the sake of it but I have found myself being more sensible in my food choices and habits despite going through Christmas and New Year where there is always more temptations than normal.
So in summary, I'm glad I took the leap of faith and also hope that my health continues to improve. I did go with the automated replenishment order as I wanted to really give it a good go and stick with it for at least 3-4 months before making a final decision but so far I feel fantastic and excited to be feeling like my old self again. Like I said, I will update this again whether I slip back into my pre Benfotiamine status or continue to improve.
If you lack mental focus, suffer from food cravings, nerve pain this stuff will change your life.
This particular brand of B1 absorbs better. My recall is on another level now. I find my self cleaning my apartment more. Working out more. Sharper at work. I also sprained my knee recently and B1 healed the nerve damage permanently.
Do some research and you will find our typical diets force us to be deficient in B1. Also read that diabetics need even more B1 than most and this could help heal some nerve pain that they experience. Kids need B1 even more.
Spread the word.
—————————————————
2 years update
I was taking B1 off and on due to so many supplements that I take and cycle on and off from.
Well what brought me back you ask?
Even though I cut back my consumption of Alcohol significantly I still noticed some moderate brain fog and trouble with concentration. I also fast a lot. After getting some X-rays done recently I felt disoriented and not myself. GOD has a way of sending me these random YouTube algorithm videos. I happened to run into this Elliot Overton who created at least 5 videos on the benefits of B1 and how certain environmental factors (too much alcohol, too much carbs, radiation, stress, fasting, too much coffee etc etc could lead to the depletion of my B1 reserves. It’s funny because I completely forgot that B1 could be used as a nootropic. I remembered it used purely for neuropathy. He also mentioned that depending on the person and condition it was safe to increase my dose to close to a gram. Well you know me I said why not! Out of all the nootropic supplements that I take this dosage gave me instant relief especially with tedious tasks, disgruntled coworkers and even had the energy to hit the gym after work.
I will give everyone another update in 30 days in case this was placebo. I’m curious what happens once I acclimate to this dosage and if I should cycle on and off etc. But so far this by far is the pick me that I really needed. Focus is so important to me these days and this definitely helped. Forgot to mention Dr. Berg has several videos on B1 also that put me on this path but for those that need a deeper dive I definitely recommend watching Elliot Overton also.
Remember we all deserve wellness. There are endless solutions out there and each person is different so never give up. Never stop seeking!!!
Of the benfotiamine brands I have used, Doctor's Best is consistent in their attention to potency and quality. I know this because I take benfotiamine for my vitamin deficiency, and when there is a change in the potency, which there has been recently in some OTHER brands who've been quietly cutting corners, it's not a great experience, to put it nicely!
I keep running back to Doctors Best.
Thank you, Doctor's Best, for maintaining your high standards!! 💗
